Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow

Although we still don’t know whether or not Scarlett Johansson attempts and/or succeeds in pulling off a Russian accent as Natasha Romanoff (aka, the Black Widow) in Iron Man 2, we do know that she’ll be laying down the pain on her enemies.

In speaking with UK magazine SFX, she had th the following to say about what the best aspect of her character is:

“Kicking lots of ass. I wanted to give it everything I had.”

“I hate to see a movie where you don’t buy that a character is gonna beat the living s**t out of you. [Laughs] Believing that about yourself is almost as much work as looking like you could beat the s**t out of somebody.”

That’s cool, but do you speak Russian like co-star Mickey Rourke does for his Whiplash character? We’ll have to wait and see.

Fing Fang Foom in Iron Man 2

Fing Fang Foom, the giant dragon-like monster of the Marvel Universe will likely be seen in Iron Man 2. If you know anything about this character, that statement may blow your mind but don’t fret, it’s just an Easter egg.

According to Iron Man 2′s lead concept artist, Adi Granov, he was tasked with designing Fin Fang Foom for a little appearance.

“This was my design for Fin Fang Foom for the Iron Man Viva Las Vegas book I was doing with Jon Favreau. But this image in particular was done for the IM movie and used as a billboard in one of the scenes where Iron Man flies past it. It’s very quick, but Jon wanted to have a kind of a cool Easter egg in there.”

Thanks for the update, Rob.

I'm glad to see Marvel isn't going the superstar route for Captain America, and with the plans for “The Avengers” in mind, that really makes sense. If they have any hopes of affording Robert Downey Jr and other big names for that film (and still have money left over for all the required sfx to make it look good), then they gotta pick some young, relatively unknown guys for the other heroes. Still curious to see if they'll manage to get Edward Norton back as Bruce Banner/Hulk, and if they don't, then it will be interesting to see who Marvel gets for the part.

I'm very excited about the “Captain America” film. Was one of my favorite comics as a kid. Suppose that's the one where I'm most likely to be disappointed, but we'll see.

I'll just call him FOOOM!!! Should be thought as some sort of Robot at first and then surprise the audience later showing that it isn't. He definitely needs to have something to do with the Ten Rings. As he should be extraterrestrial as well as the rings. Mandarin controlling FOOOM!! with the rings is the way to go.

I agree but..Eh, that's a sneaky and lazy excuse, cuz when people who speak other languages get around people who speak their language, their accent comes out if their speaking to each other in English. I see it all the time, I'm from New York and I work at an airport. Somewhere in the movie she aught to be speaking Russian to other secret Russian agents or something.
